Redditor's who dropped out, At what point did you realize university wasn't for you? And do you regret that decision?

Education after highschool is a bit different in the Netherlands where I live, than in like the USA. I started a HBO degree (Art Therapy) on which I did pretty well, but my undiagnosed ADD got the best of me and not long before the end of the first year I dropped out. Decided to apply for art schools, and got accepted into a school I really wanted to go to. I finished the first year with my propedeuse (which means I could apply to an university level education), but early in the second year I chose to quit because of health reasons, and to focus on dealing with my newly diagnosed ADD. I never really tried getting back into school, I was very content with just working. The stress, the stress wasn't worth it. I also think that even with medication the system of higher education would be a struggle not worth taking for me personally. People I know don't really understand, because I have the brains to do it, I'm definitly smart enough - but I'm happier just working and learning things on my own. I have no career ambitions, just want to be able to do what I want in my free time. And that's where I am right now (:
